Indiana quarterbacks at a glance

? Position coach: Kevin Johns is in his second year as quarterbacks coach and his third season overall. After starter Roberson sustained a broken leg early in the season, IU went to the bullpen and got productive seasons from Coffman and Sudfeld. The Hoosiers were second in the Big Ten in total offense (442.0 yards per game) and fourth in scoring (30.8 points per game).

? Strengths: Three quarterbacks are competing for the starting job, so IU is deep at this position. All three have experience. Roberson is mobile and started as a freshman. Coffman passed for more than 300 yards three times and ranked second in the Big Ten in passing yards per game (248.5). Sudfeld threw for seven TDs with one interception last year.

? Weaknesses: None obvious. IU had the top passing offense (311.2) in the Big Ten and threw for 24 TDs with 13 interceptions. All three QB were statistically productive.

? Watch for: IU possibly using two quarterbacks on a regular basis. Roberson rushed for 426 yards as a freshman, so the Hoosiers figure to find a way to use him if he doesn't start.

? The bottom line: All three quarterbacks have proved they can run an offense. One has to show he can lead the Hoosiers to more victories.
